This invention or curls in hair.

Y 15 Claims.

relates to a device to form waves One object of my invention is toprovide adevice that will form-wavesof the so-called permanent type inthe hair of a person, whether it is and economical,

and quicker in operation than devices now used, and composed of parts orsections'that can readily be assembled and disassembled,'and areadaptable for use one or more sections at a time.

This latter featureis particularly desirable where the hair is short, ora wave is desired in new hair close to the scalp only which has grownsince a wave was previously made in the hair, for one section only willbest do this.

The foregoing and other objects which will appear as the nature oftheinvention is better understoo'cl, may be accomplished by a construction,combination and arrangement of parts such as is disclosed by thedrawings and specifications.

The nature of the invention is such as to render it susceptible tovarious changes and modifications, and, therefore, I am not to belimited to said disclosures;

but am entitled to all such changes therefrom as fall within the scopeof my claims.

As illustrated,

there is a hair waving plate P consisting of one or more sectionsdepending upon the length of the hair to be waved. The foremost 'haircurling section l2 consists of a bottom l4 and two upstanding sides l5extending therefrom and spaced apart. Teeth or pin members l5 extendupwardly from said sides a short distance 'such as T g", there being aplurality of said teeth I6 in each side l5, spaced apart and preferablyextending the full length of said sides. At the two ends of said wavingplate P slots or slideways I! are formed by bending over a portion ofthe material forming the bottom 14 of said plate B so 'that'it extendsbelow said bottom and is spaced therefrom. Ears l8 extend outwardly atboth ends to make connection with a protector'member commonly used inwaving hair.

The next or intermediate hair curling section Zll'has a bottom 2|, oneupstanding side'ZZ having teeth 23 similar to'and corresponding withteeth l6. 'At the front part of said-section 26 a slide or connectingtonguellextendsoutwardly and is adapted to enter said slideways I! inthe foremost section whereby said two sections l2 and 20 are joinedtogether. This intermediate section 20 likewise has slideways 25 similarto the said slideways l'l which also serve as stops when they abutslideways ll at the point where saidsli'de member 24 has fullyenteredsaid slideway 11. As many of these intermediate sections 20may-be used as are necessary to wave the hair I-I, depending largely .onthe length of the hair.

When the hair is short, said'foremost section l2 alone is used andconstitutes the hair waving plate P. Likewise when a customer has had apermanent wave and later on desires only the newly grown hair to-bewaved said section I2 is the only section the operator needs 'to use.

A rear member 30 is provided-whichhas a bottom 3| and a slide orconnecting member 32 similar to member 24 which is adapted to .entersaid slideways'25 to thereby connect with said intermediate section 20,thereby completing said hair waving plate P. At the two ends of said endmember 30 are upstanding bracket members 33 in which slots 34 areformed, which are adapted to receive and support an :end curlerrodor-clip 31 commonly used in hair waving at the ends of the "hair. Insaid rear member 30 recessed members 38 may be formed to receive aremovable holder '39 used for convenience in handling my device and forplacing it on the head of the customer.

For each :said section l2 and 20 there is a companion hair retainingpresser or holder :member P having a clamp to hold it in position whichiii consists of two jaws i! that are controlled by handles 42, whichhave overlapping ears 43 at each end through which a rod 45 passesaround which is a coiled spring 46, held under such tension withrelation to said jaws 41 that they are normally held closed. Extendingfrom one said jaw 41 is a. retainer plate 41 which is adapted to fitover the bottom of said sections between said upstanding sides tothereby keep the hair H in place. Said plates 17 preferably have springfasteners 49 at each end fastened as at 50 there.- to which hold saidretainer plates 4! in close companionship with said waving platesections, although separate clamps could be used. Between said retainerplates 41 and the bottoms of said waving plate sections the usualexothermic or chemical heat generating pads may, of course, be used, andthe retainer member P may be equipped with electrical resistance units69 as shown in Figure '7 of the drawings. To permit the escape of steam,perforations 53 are formed in the jaws M of said clamp P. There is aclamp ing member C for said rear members 30 having two jaws 4!, twohandles 42, ears 43, rod 45 and spring 46 similar to those for saidpresser P. EX-

tending from one said jaw 4! of clamp C is a crescent-shaped hood 5which receives and fits over said end curler rod 3?.

The parts for my device may be made of any suitable material, preferablyof some light, pliable metal such as aluminum.
